Greetings,
First saturday of 2020 and a new shave set up to start the weekend.
Yesterday as i was looking through my shaving assortments, picking out my coming week SOTD set ups and i noticed the Gillette guard which i've only use on rare occasions.Anyway i mentioned in my previous posting i intended in 2020 to add shaving soft & hardware which i've neglected for a long time so, for my up and coming SOTD's this week i'll be using the Gillette Guard as my razor of choice.
When i first started to fully shave my head and before i had the confidence to shave with a DE or SE razor my choice razor of was the gillette guard which are made in india for Gillette .It's the only cartridge razor i still occasionally use normally for shaving the back of my neck or a quick no fuss shave.My first maiden shave with it felt like i was shaving with a potato peeler due to it's tilting head, but what i really like about is it doesn't clog up due to it been open comb and having a large blade gap, one of the few if any open comb single edge cartridge razors on the market. It's excellent for tight spots and problem areas. My only crit's are it's I find it struggles when doing a ATG pass, but it's designed and manufactured for quickness to give a presentable acceptable one pass WTG fuss-free shave. because the razor is made of plastic it isn't eco-friendly or recyclable like a de & se blades are ,and it's very light making it 'Top heavy',but that's expected considering what it costs to make, 'you're not going to get a shave from it like a DE or a SE razor granted, but it's not bad, the overall shave performance from this one-blade cartridge razor gives a"socially acceptable shave".
The GG is easy to adjust to when shaving with it...I can normally get 3-6 combined face & head 3 pass + pick ups shaves.From one cartridge/head, i consider this excellent value,especially for head shaving. It's a ideal travel razor, or when your in need of a quick no fuss can't be arsed presentable face or head shave...I wouldn't replace it for my DE or SE razors, but i recommend giving a try if having the opportunity to do so...Enough said.
A very enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups DFS with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Crieghtons ~ Sensitive PSB.
My face is feeling smooth and smelling devine.
Enjoy the first saturday of 2020 ladies & gentlemen.
